Florida Supreme Court
8/31/2004, C-SPAN Product ID: 183214-1
From C-SPAN\'s Description:
The Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Jeb Bush v. Michael Schiavo. Mr. Schiavo is the husband and legal guardian of Terri Schiavo, who suffered cardiac arrest and fell into a coma in 1990, resulting in brain damage. Michael Schiavo received permission from a Florida trial court to disconnect his wife\'s feeding tube and allow her to die. Terri Schiavo\'s parents, the Schindlers, are fighting Michael Schiavo and that original court decision in order to keep her alive. They disagree that Terri Schiavo is in a \"persistent vegetative state.\"
In October 2003, the Florida legislature passed what is known as \"Terri\'s Law,\" which allowed Governor Jeb Bush to issue an executive order to keep Terri Schiavo alive. Earlier this year, the Florida Second District Court of Appeal struck down \"Terri\'s Law.\" Governor Bush appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. At issue is whether this law is a violation of the separation of powers and the Florida state constitution.
Robert Destro, a professor at Catholic University, argued Governor Bush\'s case; Michael Schiavo\'s attorney was George Felos of Dunedin, Florida. Each spoke for 20 minutes before the justices....

Florida\'s Supreme Court was on Monday hearing what its chief justice calls a \"historic\" case that\'s \"of vital importance\" to America, to Florida and to the world.
Lawyers for Al Gore, George W. Bush and others are arguing over the legality of the manual recounts that are under way in three Florida counties.
The state\'s attorney general supports those recounts.
And his attorney led off Monday\'s session -- telling the justices that \"public officials have the responsibility to count and recognize the vote of all Floridians.\"
He said, \"The right to vote includes the right to have the vote counted.\"
The attorney general differs with Florida\'s secretary of state, who opposes the hand recounts.
And attorney Paul Hancock said the secretary of state\'s interpretation of the law is \"flatly wrong.\"
He said, \"It elevates machines over voters.\"
Former U-S Secretary of State Warren Christopher looked on, one of numerous lawyers on all sides of the case that will likely play a key role in deciding who the nation\'s next president will be.
Al Gore\'s lawyer told the court there\'s nothing in Florida law that says the curtain must come down seven days after the presidential election.
David Boies argued that, therefore, the Florida Supreme Court can let the hand recounts continue and be included in the final vote tally.
But justices repeatedly raised concerns about whether all the recounting -- and contesting of those recounts -- can be done by December 12th, the date when Florida must certify its electors to vote in the electoral college on D...
